I started capturing emotions on black-and-white photographs twenty years ago. The need for communication was strong. My tutor and mentor was the world-renowned photographer George Rodger. I got to know the world. I recorded it in a documentary. I sought the light. I focused on man. I wandered through refugee camps. I walked in neighbourhoods. I went into houses. I looked for the workers of humble manual labour. I met expressionless children. I talked to wrinkled faces. I encountered women lost in the monotony of life. I recognized the expressive look of sadness. I experienced the transformations in the intangible field of light. The total annihilation. I combined poetry with photography. I married them with music. I travelled to foreign places. I revealed the rebellious soul; because for me photography is an expression of inner truth; the means of communication. And I continue my journey and it is sufficient for me that in the darkness of life, I met the light.
